✦ INTRODUCTION ✦

Good morning Captains! Today we will be looking into the mechanics of Reverist Calico, Pardofelis' debut battlesuit. Reverist Calico is a powerful IMG-type Ice Support battlesuit introduced in v5.6. Please read below for details, capabilities, and other weapon alternatives.

Reverist Calico is a powerful IMG-type Ice Support character. She is one of the best Ice Support valkyries in the game right now. Her ultimate ability instantly kills the enemy if the Nihilus Seed's HP is below 20%.

✦ Battlesuit overview

Reverist Calico is a good elemental support valkyrie. Her main usage is for the Ice teams. Moreover, her skill kit and her signature stigmata Bastet (TM) can be used to support other types of elemental teams too.

Reverist Calico is fairly free-to-play friendly. However, her weapon is a must-have for all ice teams including Reveist Calico. Reverist Calico's signature weapon, Purana Phantasma: Nighteye has two big advantages. The first one is that the weapons PRI-ARM passive skill reduces all Ice-type valkyrie's ultimate cooldown by 30%. The second one is the active skill leaves behind an Icy Crystal when the wielder uses their Ultimate ability or exits the field. This Icy Crystal deals damage every 2 seconds, which can be used to re-apply Newton B, Mei pool party M, and Theresa: Gluttony T.

✦ Rank-up

✦ SKILLS ✦

The skills mentioned below are all based on level 80 SS-rank Reverist Calico.

- Special Attack - All Paws on Deck

Pardofelis's cat, named Can, has two moods. Angry and well-behaved. Can enters the field in Angry mood at the start. Tap the weapon active to switch between two moods. When the Angry mood is full, hold [ATK] to cast Double Scratch that deals 500% ATK of Ice DMG and restores 3 SP for the team. Hold [ATK] when the well-behaved mood is full to cast Frozen can that gathers enemies and make them take 30% bonus Total DMG for 15 seconds.

- Ultimate Skill - Megaton Furball

SP:125 | CD:20S

Reverist Calico hurls her Chakram above the enemy to unleash a massive furball of destruction and death upon the unfortunate enemy. Her Ultimate ability deals 2000% ATK of Ice DMG, inflicts 18 ice trauma and activates Runaway status for 10 seconds. In Runaway status Reverist Calico's Ice DMG is increased by 40%, Can's current mood is fully restored, and restores full weapon active charges. If Megaton Furball hits a Nihilus Seed, it will instantly kill the enemy if its HP is below 20%.

After any two Combo ATK has been successfully cast, tap the weapon active to perform a special attack that deals 80%x13 ATK of Ice DMG and inflicts 12 Ice Trauma. First, to fourth Basic ATK sequence restore 20 mood on hit, and the fifth Basic ATK restores 100 mood on hit. Both types of mood cap at 100.

Pardofelis's fast rotation and SP recovery beat the Azure Empyrea team. You can't have Pardofelis and Azure Empyrea both on the same team because they both tend to stay on the field for a long time, which will result in you losing points. However, the damage buffs provided by Azure Empyrea are unmatched and can beat Pardofelis. That's why you should use Azure Empyrea on Couatl instead of Pardofelis because Pardofelis is type countered and fast rotations are useless there.

✦ EQUIPMENT ✦

- Weapon of Choice

- Recommended Stigmata Set

Bastet

- Bastet [T] and [M] are the key stigmata pieces of this set.

- Bastet [B] restores SP for the team and 3 pieces bonus only provides bouns damage to the host. If you're running low on damage, I advise you to use Irene B or Newton B instead.

- Bastet 2 pieces buffs Team Total DMG and can even be used on off-weather teams. For example, with Snowy Sniper on Physical teams.

Bastet [T] - ATK: 115

Bastet [M] - ATK: 7

Bastet [B] - ATK: 58

2 pieces and 3 pieces equip bonuses

- Team composition

Testing sequence: Combo ATK (angry) -> Combo ATK (well-behaved) -> Weapon active -> Basic ATK -> Ultimate -> Combo ATK (angry) -> Combo ATK (well-behaved)

✦ CONCLUSION ✦

Reverist Calico is a must-have unit in your Ice teams. If you are on a budget, I highly recommend you to at least pull for her weapon. Her signature PRI-ARM weapon reduces all Ice-type valkyrie's ultimate ability cooldown by 30%. Moreover, its active skill summons an Icy Crystal that deals Ice damage to a nearby enemy every 2 seconds. This can re-apply Newton B, Mei pool M and Theresa: Gluttony T.
